Global climate models predict that future environmental conditions will see alterations in
temperature, water availability and CO 2 concentration ([CO 2]) in the atmosphere. Climate …

Among other crop plants legumes are of great significance for agricultural practice since
they represent a major source of proteins for human and animal consumption. Through their …

Drought stress hampers plant energy and biomass production; however it is still unknown
how internal C: N balance and rhizobial symbiosis impact on plant response to water …

The effects of salt stress on the growth, nodulation, and nitrogen (N) fixation of legumes are
well known, but the relationship between symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF) driven by …

As peanuts are sensitive to salinity, physiological and agronomic responses to mulching and
varied potassium rates were explored to boost peanut yield. During 2013–14 and 2014–15 …

Increasing soil salinity represents a major constraint for agriculture in arid and semi‐arid
lands, where mineral nitrogen (N) deficiency is also a frequent characteristic of soils …

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), one of the most important legume crops, uses
atmospheric nitrogen through symbiosis with soil rhizobia, reducing the need for nitrogen …

Selection and breeding of genotypes with improved drought/heat tolerance become key
issues in the course of global change with predicted increased frequency of droughts or heat …

Because of its potential for large-scale production, soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) has ex‐
-celled in the world agricultural economy as a major oilseed crop. At present, soybeans are …

Yields of grain legumes are constrained by available water. Thus, it is crucial to understand
traits influencing water uptake and the efficiency of using water to produce biomass. Global …
